Heh... you seem to have a better grasp of tactics than I do. When I make
plans, it's usually "Things happen; what the hell." I.e., apart from
deciding "These jetbikes will get the objective, this titan will uses
it's legendary good luck and *not* get it's head blown off, these
guardians will vape someone at close range, etc." I don't go for tactics
much. As an aside, I win more than I lose. :P
